That's also while I like to do the Arcane Sanctuary quadrant with the teleporters before the others --- my minions end up all in the same place, rather than getting scattered around a lot, and since the teleporters aren't very far apart...

I've never had any trouble teleporting into any crowds with my skellies...

since i don't take damage from hits aimed at me with them, i usually move just a bit, and then everybody gets swarmed and dies.

Even doll packs teleporting down to baal.

I suppose a crowd of urdars backed up by obliv knights might be a problem, or backed by serpents with bonespear.. otherwise i just keep a finger on bonearmor for the occasional lucky hit, and let my minions do the talking.

Decrep also helps alot. instaneous cast, and nobody touches you as fast, so you can tele out again.

(i actually kill baal's minions in hell faster that way, by teleporting into the middle)

(if yer not summonmancer, get some revives anyway, and tele with them. same rule applies, and costs almost nothing to get 5 revives and due to the glitch, you'll never even get touched)
